the angle brackets are for io redirection. as atom stated, the program does not accept any arguments, it reads from stdin. it's not that the file needs angle brackets around it, it's that you're telling cmd.exe to redirect the input file to stdin of cleanup-rules, and redirecting the output to the output file.

if you are more comfortable with using a pipe, or if you think it makes more logical sense, you could instead do something like:
this would be UUoC (UUoT?), but you're already using windows, so who cares
